7:5-When (thus) our
punishment took them no cry did they utter but this "indeed we did
wrong." 992

Note:992-The religious story of
man begins with a prelude. Think of the towns and nations ruined by their
iniquity. Allah gave them many opportunities, and sent them warners and
teachers. But they arrogantly went on in their evil ways, till some dreadful
calamity came and wiped out their traces. In a warm climate the
disturbance in the heat of the midday rest is even more than the
disturbance at night. It was when the catastrophe came that the people
realized their sins, but it was too late.

33:48 - And obey not (the
behests) of the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites and heed not their annoyancesbut put thy trust in Allah for enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.3737

Note:3737- Men of little or no
Faith will often lay down the law and tell better men than themselves
what to do. In case of refusal they shower insults and
injuries. No attention is to be paid to them. It is their
way. All will be right under the government of Allah.

31:6 - But
there are among men those who purchase idle tales without knowledge (or
meaning) to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah and throw ridicule (on the
Path): for such there will be a humiliating Penalty. 3584

3584-Life is taken seriously by men who
realize the issues that hang upon it. But there are men of a frivolous turn of
mind who prefer idle tales to true Realities and they are justly rebuked here.
In the time of the holy Prophet there was a pagan Nadhr ibn al-Harith who preferred
Persian romances to the Message of Allah, and turned away ignorant men from the
preaching of Allah's Word. (31.6)

18:104-"Those
whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they thought that they were
acquiring good by their works?"2449

NOTE: 2449-Many people
have such a smug sense of self-righteousness that while they go on doing wrong,
they think that they are acquiring merit. So, in charity, all the elements that
make for outward show or selfishness (as to get some worldly advantage) nullify
the deed of charity. In the same way hypocrites sometimes affect to be
surprised that their declared effort for somebody’s good is not appreciated,
when they are really seeking some hidden gain or false glory for
themselves. The sincere are those who believe in their spiritual
responsibility and act as in Allah’s sight.

31:6- But there are among men those who purchase idle tales without
knowledge (or meaning) to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah and throw
ridicule (on the Path): for such there will be a humiliating Penalty. 3584

Those who mislead – whose efforts have been wasted in this life (
18:104- 31:6 )

They are those who Distort, Dispute,
Divide, Hinder, Mislead, Sell the religion, Imitators, Deaf & Dumb, &
Blind, and cannot see or understand, Refuse the Truth, Refuse to Believe, The
Arrogance, the Hypocrites, the Ignorance, the Mischievous Ones, those Forming
Sects and Divisions. THEY ARE THE ARMY OF THE SATAN – THE PERSISTENT
REBEL
